Support windsurf setups for coder extension#441
Conversation

Hi @amberry, with the previous information and my testing. WindsurfWorks without any issues. VSCodiumWorks if jeanp413.open-remote-ssh is pre-installed and we launch from URI, i.e., Also, manual login from the Coder extension gives CursorThe cursor only works if the remote-ssh extension is pre-installed. The coder extension now does not prompt you to install it. |

@matifali Yep, I updated the description to state that windsurf, vscode and cursor do work. Now, re cursor. If you installed a locally built vsix package, then the extensionpack deps don't get installed, thats a platform limitation. Once built and hosted on a marketplace the extensionpack deps will come through, and I did check that with a marketplace running locally (I have one because of other work I'm doing). If they are valid for the marketplace gallery defined, you'll see them on the extension pack tab above ^. |
For me, VSCodium works fine if https://open-vsx.org/extension/jeanp413/open-remote-ssh is installed. I am fine if we consider that as a separate PR. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks @amberry
I will leave the final approval for @bcpeinhardt.


This brings supported list to be vscode, windsurf and cursor
Vscode and cursor can install the ms remote extension, and so the extensionpack entry triggers that.
The ms remote ssh extension is not available for the gallery that windsurf has, so that dep becomes invisible there, and then the activation code does the right thing for Windsurf, using its built in remote support.
Tabling vscodium support for now, had some issues (hanging on attempting to start the remote) I didn't get to the bottom of between this coder extension and https://open-vsx.org/extension/jeanp413/open-remote-ssh.
